Because his daughter Liu Fuyin had been gravely wounded while fighting an eighth-tier Netherworld Sea Serpent, Liu Changxu ordered a halt to the operation to encircle and eliminate the sea monsters, then led the Imperial Guards back to Cloud Sky Immortal City.
After returning to Cloud Sky Immortal City, his daughter Liu Fuyin, whose severe injuries had yet to heal, remained in seclusion inside the Ruyi Lotus Palace to recuperate.
Liu Changxu gathered his consorts, princes, and princesses for a meal in the Small Dining Hall of Ruyi Residence in Cloud Sky Immortal Palace.
At the banquet, his children enjoyed the delicacies while enthusiastically recounting their battles against the sea monsters and their abundant spoils.
After hearing their children's accounts, Wu Xuege, Murong Yuyao, Zhao Qi'er, and the other women were filled with anticipation for the demon-hunting expedition they would soon join!
"Your Majesty, when do you plan to take us demon hunting?"
Zhao Qi'er asked eagerly.
"Although this hunt yielded a great deal, Yin'er was still injured in battle. We need to make more thorough preparations before heading to the Boundless Sea to hunt again. Besides, Zier will soon face her tribulation. Let us wait until she advances to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm before discussing anything else!"
Liu Changxu said.
"Xuege, Yu Yao, has there been any news from Taibai Star?"
A hundred years had already passed since the human Expeditionary Army departed for Taibai Star, so Liu Changxu, as a father, remained deeply concerned.
His question instantly brought worried expressions to the faces of Su Jinxiu and Liu Qingying. Their eyes were filled with concern for their sons who had left for Taibai Star.
"So far, no news has arrived. A few days ago, I specifically asked Elder Yang of the Myriad Forms Sect about it."
